Any one running Torque App on an ecoboost?

[johndeerefarmer]

If so what are you reading for CAT temps while towing? Also tell me what you are towing, its weight and how big are the mountains?


Also if you are running stock or tuned?

Thanks

I've never monitored cat temps, as my scangauge II doesn't have a PID for them.

ECT, trans, boost, load are what I watch.

Plenty of chip options, worth an easy 40-50hp and 80-100ft# torque. With tow tunes. I have kept mine stock for now, but they say the part throttle power with a chipped truck is unbelievable.

For those that don't know, as your truck is getting closer to shift point, the boost tapers down. Once it shifts, it starts building again. All computer controlled via the blow off valve.

Surprised no one is doing more with the EcoBoost on this forum, as is popular with turboed diesels here. Perhaps the OEM EcoBoost is so good, it's already good enough.

Banks, for one, offers even more zip, though, along with readouts. Driving like Grandma, I am usually kind of a "keep it stock" fan myself, but added performance, and accompanying closer monitoring, must be tempting for many, especially the younger crowd. TRUCKS Mag did a brief hotrod story.

As durable as these EcoBoost engines are, there must certainly be a little more performance margin to be had without compromising reliability too much. As an example, I suppose they are susceptable to "dusting the turbo" with overly porous K&N type filters, as are diesels. But higher quality filter units should be available, and ususally the ultra-clean stock paper filter is more than adequate. As with diesels, most of the added performance is simply had by program-bumping the boost, adding fuel delivery capacity if necessary.

Only monitoring ECT, Tranny & Boost with an Edge CST monitor & tranny with the trucks temp gauge.

No one here is monitoring their CAT or EGT temps while towing?
